Current Events > looks like season 5 of The Witcher will be the last one

(+) Yeah! (+)

Netflix has officially renewed The Witcher for a fifth and final season as filming commences on Season 4 of the hit fantasy drama.

The renewal announcement from Netflix coincided with the news that The Witcher's fourth (and now penultimate) season has entered production in the UK. Images from a recent table read offer fans a sneak peek at new and returning cast members, including Liam Hemsworth, who is taking over the role of Geralt of Rivia.

The Witcher secured a fourth season renewal in October 2022, but Netflix has only now given Season 5 the greenlight. The two seasons will be filmed back-to-back and will adapt the remainder of Andrzej Sapkowski's books, Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow, and Lady of the Lake, to conclude the TV adaptation.

"It is with huge pride that we begin shooting our penultimate Season of The Witcher with a stellar cast, including some exciting new additions, led by Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia," said showrunner and executive producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. "We're thrilled to be able to bring Andrzej Sapkowski's books to an epic and satisfying conclusion. It wouldn't be our show if we didn't push our family of characters to their absolute limit stay tuned to see how the story ends."

According to the official logline, the fourth season will pick up after the shocking events of the third chapter, which saw Henry Cavill put up one last fight as Geralt before Hemsworth steps in to join Yennefer and Ciri, who are "faced with traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons apart from each other."

The Witcher executive producers Steve Gaub and Tomek Baginski previously teased Season 4 having a "meta" transition to Hemsworth's Geralt after Cavill departed the show. The actor will also be in good company alongside series mainstays Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, Freya Allan as Ciri, and Joey Batey as Jaskier.

There is no word on when the fourth season will hit screens yet, but we're one step closer to finding out now cameras are rolling.

I cant believe they have so much confidence that people will keep watching this without him that theyd renew it for season 5 before 4 even airs

this is like a decision from the Netflix of ten years ago

Welp, guess it's time for no one to ever talk about it again

I 100% don't expect them to actually make the 5th season. No one cares, and the show lost all good will with fans after Cavils exit.

I couldn't even finish season 3 knowing that Cavill was being replaced and he was still in that one

No interest in continuing

I keep trying to care about anything Witcher. And it always come across as an edgy 12 year olds fan fiction who just discovered curse words. The best thing in the entire series is Dandelion and hes criminally underutilized in everything.

Not surprising, the people who like Cavill left once he did and the people who don't like him aren't about to start

Also yeah, the source material sucks and the video games are really the only thing worth it

Season 2 was the last one for me

Does anyone care? Them running Cavill out of town killed anyone's desire to watch it. After the showrunners jumped the shark hard, he was the only thing holding it together.
